Part 1: project profile
Project name
Project short description
Visual-evoked potentials (VEPs) are a possible way to drive the a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). This projects aims at maximizing the discrimination between different stimuli by using numerical codes derived from techniques of digital telecommunications. This subset of VEP-BCI is usually called code-based VEP, or c-VEP.

Laboratory work and risk analysis
Several EEG sessions will be recorded. Data acquisition is performed at the IIT-Lab. All risks are those related to the use of video terminals and EEG devices.
WARNING Some people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns. Even people who have never had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
- 2010-04-12: First data acquisition session
- 2010-04-16: Second and third session
- 2010-05-26: Fourth and fifth session
- 2010-06-07: Sixth and seventh session
- 2010-06-11: Eigth session (coloured flashers)
The protocol briefly explained
EEG is recorded at points Fz, Cz, Pz, O1 and O2 while the patient fixates a particular symbol on the flashing pattern (30 to 90 seconds). This is repeated several times with different symbols, frame rates and sequence length. Any recording can be used as a training for the classifier. Classification is done by comparing two different recordings (provided that they were recorded with the same flashing pattern and frame rate).
Part 2: project description
What this project means to demonstrate is the possibility to extend the SSVEP paradigm to multiple visual signals (i.e. blinking lights) using a numeric encoding, in a way similar to what has already been attempted with noise-tagging.
